Patina Formulas for various metals

Post by Curt A »

I thought these may prove useful in some restorations... phonographs or otherwise.

Abe, glad you found it useful. I like to use cupric sulfate patinas on solder joints, etc. It makes projects appear more finished. I'm still looking for a patina that Tiffany used on lamp bases.
